Bring on that cartoon Rebel scum! Here’s the official logo and some art for “Star Wars Rebels,” the new animated series headed our way next fall on Disney XD.

You could call it a follow-up to Cartoon Network’s “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” at least from a certain point of view. “Clone Wars” trekked its titular conflict up to “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.” “Rebels” unfolds between Episodes III and IV, from the rise of the Empire to the fall of the first Death Star.

And while we still don’t have any cast or art for Episode VII’s big screen bow, we do know who’ll provide the music. John Williams will return to the “Star Wars” cinematic universe to score the anticipated 2015 film by director J.J. Abrams. Cue the goose-pimples.

Incidentally, “The Clone Wars” did get some love at Celebration. Folks got a first look at the series’ Season 5 Blu-ray and DVD boxed sets, as well as the Collector’s Edition that offers all five seasons of that Emmy-winning saga. Season 5 and the Collector’s Edition hit Oct. 15.
